Vera Williams listened, and although she found the words pleasing, her Song Family was already wealthy, so the prediction wasn't particularly surprising.

Elder Clinton's shrewd little eyes twinkled as if he noticed his guest wasn't fully satisfied. He spat on his palm and rubbed it together, then said, "Miss, you can draw another card. An extra one will make the divination more accurate."

Vera was open to advice and drew another card. She turned it over to see a "Heart 8."

Elder Clinton couldn't help but exclaim, "Double eights. It's just like the Poker Round 'a pair,' foretelling great wealth in one's life pattern! Oh my, miss, you're going to be tremendously powerful..."

Another round of flattery ensued.

Vera listened without much emotion, her brow arched.

Although she didn't know why she had drawn two eights, her current state with the Rose Chamber of Commerce already seemed to align with the divination words.
